Always go by the manufactures recommendations or you will have a sticky mess. I can't remember the brand varnish I bought but it was a marine spar which the manufacture sells either a brushing thinner or a fast dry spraying reducer to be used with it. If you follow the label, you shouldn't have any problems.
